…Hurricane season, wow how’d you know? Guess we don’t have to worry about that here in north Texas though. June 1 does however help signify a shift in weather patterns for our region as we are essentially out of the core severe weather season. We may get two or so more severe weather events before full fledged summer kicks in but not many. The major severe weather threats will remain to our north essentially from Oklahoma City all the way into Colorado and up to the Dakotas, then over into Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
For the next 7 days it looks like we can expect one rain event to occur from Tuesday night thru Wednesday night when a cold front passes through the area. This front will only help bring drier air through however as this sets the stage for a hot upcoming weekend. The upcoming cold front does have a chance for severe weather so this will be monitored to see how it evolves. Very dry and above normal temps will hit for Friday through Monday with temps possibly reaching the mid to upper 90s. Aside from the cold front passage Tuesday night thru Wednesday night, no other rain is in the forecast.
Summer Solstice is June 21, the first day of Summer and when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, with the longest available daylight. We can basically kiss our severe weather chances goodbye after June 21.
